What did you do in the reloading room today?

It was time to give my Lee 4-20 bottom pour pot a good cleaning so I fired it up and poured it empty. Well, since I was casting anyway I added a few pounds along the way. I ended up with a clean pot, tired hands, and about 35 pounds of .40 cal bullets. I'll get them sized and tumble lubed this weekend.

I loaded up 50 rounds of 38 Spl. with 3 gr of Bulls Eye under Lee TL358-158 SWC to try out in my "new to me" S & W Model 36 3". The weather was overcast but mid 30s so I tried them out - they worked pretty nice in the 3" as well as the 36 snub. As much as I like RN boolits, I still keep going back to this boolit in my 38 spls. - it just plain shoots good out of "em. I de-primed the spent casings and tonight will start on doing a couple hundred rounds.

Nothing today, but I setup the pot and tools and 30# of alloy for a casting session Saturday, need to cast up a 1000 new .44's for my Henry I go a new mold. It'll take me about 4-5 hours to cast that many. Then I'll need to size and lube em Sunday.
